CD Projekt boss says "cutting-edge single-player games" – you know, like The Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk 2 – will "continue to enjoy great popularity" despite industry shifts
S☂ingle-player games update: not going anywhere, it seems

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Loosely echoing recent remarks from 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Baldur's Gate 3 and Larian boss Swen Vincke, joint CD Projekt CEO Michał Nowakowski says "cutting-edge single-player games" will stay popular even as the industry trends in live service, free-to-play, and various other directions.
In , sizing up its 2024 activities and results, Nowakowski writ🦂es:
"We are aware that the video game market continues to evolve – however, we believe that cutting-edge single-player games rooted in strong franchises and immersive nar🐎ratives will continue to enjoy great popularity. Our experience, along with brands such as The Witcher and Cyberpunk, which it is our pleasure to further develop, help us build a strong position on the market and paint a positive outlook – while collaboration with global tech and innovation leaders enables us to keep abreast of technical developments in the industry and continue to deliver top-quality entertainment."
Vincke, meanwhile, in a sharper dig at the harebrained recurring declaration that big single-player games are dead, reckoned they aren't going anywhere, "they just have to be good." And when you get dow🌱n to it, 'just make a good one' is really just a short version of 'make a cutting-edge one rooted in a strong franchise and with an immersive narrative.'
CD Projekt is in the process of establishing a new IP (codenamed Hadar), and has just announced a collaboration with mobile powerhouse Scopely, but its fastest horses are still the same two single-player series. The company's pipeline includes 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Witcher 4, Cyberpunk 2 (rather, Orion, the sequel to Cyberpunk 2077, whatever it ends up being called), 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Witcher remake, and The Witcher spinoff thing-a-majig Sirius.
CD Projekt is very much embedded in the "cutting-edge singl🥂e-player" business, and it remains one of the most successful companies in the space, so Nowakowski's comments come as no surprise as the studio i🤪nvests and expands for parallel projects that seem to double down on what got it this far.
Per today's report, from October 31, 2024 to Februar🤡y 28, 2025, CD Projekt went from 650 to 707 active developers, with particularly large gains to the Witcher 4, Orion, and "shared services" teams. As associate Cyberpu𓆏nk director , "we are growing my chooms."
